The whole appeal of Game Shows, especially the big money ones that are out there these days, is to see an average Joe win and change his life, or lose it all. &amp;nbsp;There is a bit of Drama in that. &amp;nbsp;Not in seeing already rich celebrities win for &amp;quot;their charity&amp;quot;, and definitely not in seeing Sub-B list has beens trying for one last minute of screen time. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do not care to see celebrities on The Apprentice, playing Family Feud, Deal or No Deal... I just don't care to see them in any game show.. &amp;nbsp;PERIOD!</description></item><item><title>Live from LA: 'Apprentice' gets star-struck, more NBC tidbits</title><link>http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/16/272234.aspx#272951</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2007 03:44:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:272951</guid><dc:creator>B.R.

More tasks should be done for and in collaboration with celebrity businesses; however the premise of the show should remain the same... a group of hardworkers with or without degrees that go thru a rigorous 13 week interview process for the Don.
